Efficient Test Methodologies for High-Speed Serial Links [Hardcover]

Efficient Test Methodologies for High-Speed Serial Links describes in detail several new and promising techniques for cost-effectively testing high-speed interfaces with a high test coverage. One primary focus of Efficient Test Methodologies for High-Speed Serial Links is on efficient testing methods for jitter and bit-error-rate (BER), which are widely used for quantifying the quality of a communication system. Various analysis as well as experimental results are presented to demonstrate the validity of the presented techniques.

Covering new and promising techniques for cost-effectively testing high-speed interfaces with high test coverage, the authors focus on efficient test methodologies for jitter and bit-error-rate, widely used for assessing the quality of communication systems.
